Hi,

Up for sale is a 2005 Toyota Rav4 "L" package with several upgrades.  The vehicle has been extremely reliable, which we're sorry to see go.  Due to a new edition to our family, we're forced to look for a larger SUV. 

 

Being a smaller SUV that the RAV4 is, it handles and rides more similar to a car than a full size SUV but with the benefit of having a great view of the road.  It allows us to maneuver in tight spaces but yet have enough cargo space to bring large packages home.  The 4 wheel drive transmission has gotten us through many tough snow storms that other cars could not drive in.

 

Quick features are: 4 cylinder, Daytime Driving Lights, All Wheel Drive, Power Window, Power Locks, Remote Key Fob, functional Air Conditioning, factory upgraded wheel with larger tires, additional body moulding (part of the "L" package), grey cloth seat with no tears that I can find, roof rack, cruise control, removable rear cargo cover and front fog/running lights.  The rear seats have features not even found on luxury vehicles.  The two rear seats have some range of motion to slide forward or backward and to tilt forward or recline.  Lastly these two rear seats can be removed completely out of the vehicle to open up a cavernous space to haul large items.  The transmission on this vehicle is a 5 speed manual.  It allows for great control of the engine, such as controlling decent and keeping the engine in either a fuel efficient mode or in the power band for pulling a trailer.

 

I've upgraded the sound system.  I replaced the stock head unit with a Toyota factory OEM head unit intended for the Scion line.  I learned from the RAV4 forum that this model is made by Pioneer and has great acoustic qualities.  A major benefit of staying with a Toyota OEM head unit is the ability to retain the steering wheel control functions.  I've also upgraded the speakers with Kappa and Infinity line.  Lastly, the audio system has a Rockford Fosgate amplifier.  I'm more than pleased with how this came out ($1000+ investment).

 

A trailer hitch with necessary electrical wiring, Toyota brand side steps and Toyota brand mud guards has also been installed. 

 

I drive the RAV4 daily to work (round trip is ~60 miles) and that explains the high mileage.  It's mostly a highway commute.  I drive 60-70% highway and I average 25 MPG on regular gas.  All four tires were replaced earlier this year so they have plenty of tread life and a tire alignment was completed at that time.  I change the engine oil at an interval outlined by Toyota.  I go further by using Mobil1 Synthetic and staying with Toyota oil filter.  No cracks on any of the glass and no leaks into the interior or fluid leaks from the RAV4. 

 

The brake pads may require replacing.  I can include a set (one axle) of Toyota OEM brake pads as duplicate was sent in error when I originally replaced them.

 

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.  The car is sold as is as I'm not in the automotive industry but I'm confident the car will continue to serve the new owner well.  I still commute daily and never hesitate to drive with my newborn. 

 

Thanks for looking!

Editors' Picks November 2023: Toyota Grand Highlander, Buick Envista and some lovely luxury vehicles

Fri, Dec 1 2023

It's been a month since we served you with the full lot of Autoblog Editors' Picks, and that master list is going to continue to grow as more new cars enter the market. For November 2023, we have a trio of SUVs coming in at various sizes and price points including the Buick Envista, Toyota Grand Highlander and Mercedes-Benz GLS. And if you're looking for a convertible sports car, the BMW Z4 is one that should make your shortlist, as it finds its way into this month's of Editors' Picks, as well. In case you missed previous Editors' Picks posts, here’s a quick refresher on whatÂ’s going on here. We rate all the new cars we drive with a 1-10 score. Cars that are exemplary in their respective segments get an EditorsÂ’ Pick designation. Those are the ones weÂ’d recommend to our friends, family and anybody whoÂ’s curious and asks the question. The list that youÂ’ll find below consists of every car we rated in November that earned an EditorsÂ’ Pick. 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander Limited Hybrid Max View 25 Photos Quick take: The Hybrid Max is the one to get, but the Grand Highlander comes highly recommended for its added space, nicer interior and fuel efficient powertrains. Score: 7 What it competes with: Kia Telluride, Jeep Grand Cherokee L, Chevy Traverse, Honda Pilot, Subaru Ascent, Ford Explorer, Toyota Highlander, Mazda CX-9, Kia Sorento, Buick Enclave, Nissan Pathfinder, VW Atlas, Mazda CX-90 Pros: Two hybrid powertrain options; exceptional cargo space; usable third row; refined and quiet ride. Cons: Expensive for the segment; the lesser hybrid powertrain is noisy and slow. From the editors: Senior Editor, Electric, John Beltz Snyder — "The Grand Highlander is a nice alternative to the standard Highlander for the Toyota faithful for its usable third row. The choice of powertrains is a huge boon, too, whether you want a fuel-sipping hybrid, or solid gas engine or a more robust hybrid with extra performance. YouÂ’re just going to have to pay a little more for it all." In-depth analysis: 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander Review: A strong, new three-row contender   2024 Buick Envista 2024 Buick Envista Sport Touring front three quarter View 19 Photos Quick take: The Envista is one of our top subcompact SUV picks. It packs tremendous value into a compelling design that looks far more expensive than it is. A homerun for Buick.

Lexus F performance SUV could be in the works

Wed, Jan 30 2019

Amid the wave of SUVs and crossovers that has crashed down on the industry, several high-performance sporting SUVs have washed up and started to fill a separate growing niche. It's an idea that Lexus is contemplating, according to a new report, with a possible F-branded utility vehicle focusing on either on- or off-road specialties. At the Rolex 24 in Daytona, Florida, Motor1 learned that incorporating a crossover or SUV into Lexus' F performance division has been under "active discussion." That doesn't necessarily mean a hotted-up utility vehicle, however. According to the report, F could translate to a different type of performance on the SUV, specifically for off-road capabilities. Using the F badge in this way would be a huge departure from what it has meant during the brand's 10-year history. Lexus currently offers the sport-focused RC F and the GS F, with an LC F expected soon. Should Lexus decide to lean further into the sport performance methodology with its utility vehicles, the newly released UX and the NX would likely be the top candidates. That said, Lexus does have two highly competent off-road vehicles in the Lexus GX and LX. Plus, Toyota, Lexus' parent brand, has been producing some of the best off-road vehicles on the market for years. As of now, this is just talk, but the way SUV and crossover sales have been going, we'd expect an F-branded Lexus SUV in the near future. Which kind of enthusiast it's for remains to be seen.

This first-gen Toyota Celica is one mean mother

Tue, 09 Jul 2013

Brian Karasawa's gen-one Toyota Celica is, in a word, badass. As a long-standing fan of the marque, the doting owner has tried to both restore and improve his Celica keeping period-correct modifications in mind. The 20R/22R mashup engine is outputting roughly 185 horsepower and graced with a lot of JDM-specific parts and modifications. Clearly, the exhaust has been upgraded from stock, as clips of the orange Toyota in motion are accompanied by one hell of a nice sound.
Tastes clearly vary, and there's not as much love for the first-wave of Japanese metal as there is for similar era American-iron, but we're pleased to see these cars finally getting more time in the spotlight. Scroll down below to see why we're stoked, and consider cruising your local Craigslist for late 1970s and early 1980s Japanese coolness (before we get there first).
